I agree with this line of reasoning.

The question is not whether curation needs to happen. The question is WHO gets to do the curating. Putting it into the hands of the CCP or big tech big media or some other centralized entity is the dystopia we’re trying to avoid.

But the alternative is not: no curation; the alternative is decentralized curation, where you the user are ultimately in charge of who / how it’s done. If you trust Big Tech Co. to curate your feed, then great. If not, you need tools to allow you to delegate curation to another entity or entities. And other entities need tools to do the curation for you. Those tools need to be easy, cheap, effective, and customizable. Those tools are what will allow us to exit the dystopia that otherwise awaits us.
